Good venture, we are from Ukraine 🇺🇦

We invest in business, not in ideas

Our principles

We build the syndicate based on following principles

Transparency

At all stages of our cooperation, we openly share data and do not promise "billions of millions".

Trust

We value business reputation, as all our investors and startups form a single value environment.

Ukraine in the heart

We invest globally and are particularly pleased to include Ukrainians among our investors who seek growth and wealth multiplication. All syndicate members share a strong pro-Ukrainian stance. We prioritize supporting Ukrainian startups, even if they are registered outside Ukraine.

Focus on investors

We communicate in plain language and are always ready to answer our investors' questions. Additionally, we offer the lowest transaction costs.

We support entrepreneurs who make the world a better place

We prioritize funding startups that improve people's lives and our planet and help support the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Charity

Syndicate partners transfer 4% of the financial result to charitable foundations that support Ukraine and entrepreneurship in Ukraine.
